Around 95 per cent of the universe is still a mystery with unknown exotic particles and new forces awaiting discovery

This century, one the biggest challenges in fundamental physics will be to really understand the nature of dark matter, explains Professor of Physics Elisabetta Barberio

High energy physicist Professor Elisabetta Barberio is leading groundbreaking Australian research in the hunt for dark matter and it’s all happening deep underground

As National Science Week celebrates scientific discovery in Australia, we ask what’s likely to be the ‘next big thing’ in some of the most exciting fields of science research?

In a laboratory 1000 metres below ground in a gold mine, Australian physicists are uniquely positioned to confirm the existence of dark matter
